Flamingo Class

This week the children enjoyed looking for Jigsaw Jack and Jez who went missing like a character in our story. We made a list of what we could do to find them and put lost posters up around the school. We were then sent pictures of Jigsaw Jack and Jez which gave us clues of where to look for them.

The children used the clues to try and locate them and were delighted to find them in the library !

Thank you to the parents who made a start on our garden.

Thank you for the money raised so far for The Royal Marsden.

Thank you to those parents who discussed the toys they remember from their childhood with their children. Please continue to share stories about toys during from different times. Please encourage your child to think about the differences to toys they play with today.

We have continued to look at toys and the children have been describing different toys from the past. Next week in English we will be looking at writing letters.

In Maths this week we focused on counting in multiples of 2, 5 and 10. This will continue next week. If you have the opportunity please practice at home.

The topic in Maths is Place Value within 50. We will be looking at:

Count to 50 forwards and backwards, beginning with 0 or 1, or from any other number.

Count, read and write numbers to 50 in numerals.

Given a number, identify one more or one less.

Identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations including the number line, and use the language of: equal to, more than, less than (fewer), most, least.

Count in multiples of twos, fives and tens.

The children have been working hard to practice their cursive writing and we will be continuing to develop this in class.

If you read at home with your child please

can you record this in their contact book as

then the reading books can be changed.

Can you please make sure the children have their PE kits in school for every Tuesday and Wednesday. On Wednesdays we will be outside so please make sure the children have suitable warm clothing.
